Hi all, I am Martin. I've never brewed before. I'm planning to brew 1 gallon of Lager out of malt extract, just as an experiment to see how it goes, if I'd be able to continue in the small 1 bedroom appartment. Fermenting and lagering will happen in my kitchen fridge.
So far I reserch yeasts and hops, acquiring the basic equipment for the 1 gallon batch.
I have a very specific goal; to recreate a beer that no longer exists, I used to enjoy in my twenties; with subtle earthy and tobaccoey aroma, a shade darker and just a bit more bitter than the tipical lager.
I'm not quite sure if only hop will bring out the flavor I'm after, or malt plays a role too? For the begining I'll take Fuggle hop and Bohemian Lager yeast and see where it goes.
Suggestions very welcome.
